Card Swap and more

This month our theme in our

Art Swap Group

is using a doily on a card.

It took me a while to decide what to do,

then I hit on the idea of making my own doily

with my Silhouette Cameo.

Once that was done, I used that file to cut a stencil.

I used the stencil with Distress Inks

 and inked over a piece of white card stock

 to create this lovely pattern.

I cut the card stock down to size

for the card and layered it onto Kraft card stock.

I cut a perfect mat with my

Perfect Layers rulers.

With the Perfect Layers, it is quick and easy to cut a

perfect mat every time. 

 And with 10 different border measurements to choose from,

you always have a perfect mat. 

 I also used the Perfect Layers to cut the banner.

Here is a closer look at that banner.

"Just a note" (#6405) is from Eureka! Stamps

Here is another card I made with that same piece of

doily patterned card stock.

One more, made with a scrap of doily card stock.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you have been inspired in some way.

Please come again soon.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
